Point taken, for sure, Kevin, but for the most part the British kings have favored the English side of things to the detriment of the Scots, Welsh, and Northern Irish. Hence my suggestion of coming up with a non-English term. But you're right, non-British would be a better way to say it.
(all IMHO, of course)
